This set was recorded live, as it was broadcast on the VPRO programme 'Spleen', on 15th May 1983, at the NOS Studios in Hilversum, Holland in a room 15 metres square designed for radio 'talk' shows and plays. The 'audience' comprised the presenter, programme staff and a few guests - about 10 people in all - sitting around tables at the opposite end of the room. Sad Lovers & Giants fell apart at the end of the year, but they have now reformed and new recordings will be available early in 1987.
